What does "also belong to" mean? The user entry
uid=gnarea,ou=directors,dc=example,dc=org being a member of a group

Regarding the ou-structure gnarea is simply in
ou=directors,dc=example,dc=org.

I don't know how your entries ou=sysadmins,dc=example,dc=org and
ou=betatesters,dc=example,dc=org look like.

Authorization I guess.
Please make yourself familiar with group entries and how they differ
from ou entries (which are probably not what you want).
